Youth Care Staff

Position responsibilities: Our organization operates 24/7, 365 days a year, providing care and support to youth in need. Youth Care staff are responsible for the daily supervision of our residents at either our residential treatment facility or our group home and crisis shelter. They build therapeutic relationships with our clients and create a safe and predictable environment for them to learn to thrive in. Creating this environment requires establishing healthy boundaries, reinforcing choices and behaviors through the use of natural and logical consequences, helping residents develop internal self-control by highlighting new growth and change as well as engaging in enriching activities. 

At our beautiful residential facility in Wilson, WY, resident therapy is heavily focused around activities in the natural setting which may include: hiking, trail running, fishing, kayaking, and outdoor play through beneficial games. This job is ideal for someone passionate about the outdoors and looking to incorporate the outdoors in their day to day vocation.

Youth Care staff may work in shifts up to 16 hours, which can include overnight shifts. This allows for shorter work weeks and more consecutive time off than traditional jobs. This is more than a seasonal job, we desire a year long commitment from new employees in order to help create meaningful relationships with our residents. One of the most rewarding parts of this position is the impact we have the chance to make with the individuals we serve.

Benefits: For FULL TIME employees we provide health/dental/vision insurance plans and retirement contribution, as well as paid time off.
